Feel you on the financial constraints applying to college - application fees have gotten ridiculous (they’re worse for grad apps now, yeesh). I don’t think an extension would work, but I think it’s worth contacting the admissions offices explaining to see if they’ll waive your application fee, or ask your high school counseling office. Re: time constraints, my Rice essay was basically a fancy copy/paste of my other essays and things worked out fine Best of luck deciding!

(And for what it’s worth, I had two roommates turn down Pomona for Rice ;))
